Prostatitis - acute

Male reproductive anatomy
Prevention

Not all types of prostatitis are preventable. Thorough hand-washing after a bowel movement and prior to handling the penis may prevent the transfer of bacteria from the rectal area to the genitourinary tract.

Infections that are associated with STDs can be prevented by practicing safer-sex behaviors.
